Cisco IOS System Message Guide, 12.2 SX
This publication lists and describes system messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 SX, up to and
including 12.2(33)SXI. During operation, the system software sends these messages to the console and,
optionally, to a logging server on another system. Not all system messages indicate problems with your
system. Some messages are purely informational, and others may help diagnose problems with
communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. This guide also includes messages that
appear when the system crashes.

GLOSSARY
How The Messages Are Organized
The system messages provide descriptions of system messages related to the Cisco IOS software. The
messages are organized according to the particular system facility that produces the messages. The
facility sections appear in alphabetical order, and within each facility section, messages are listed
alphabetically by mnemonic. Each message is followed by an explanation and a recommended action.
For alphabetizing purposes, lowercase and uppercase letters are treated the same.
The index of messages is alphabetized as follows:

System Messages for 12.2S.
How to Read System Messages
System messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows. The text in bold are
required elements of the System Message, the text in italics are optional elements of the System
Message.
%FACILITY-SUBFACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the
message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software.
Table 1 lists the system facility codes.
FACILITY
is used only for Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches that are operating in a distributed
system. The subfacility can consist of one code, or two codes that are divided by a hyphen, and describes
the part of the distributed system from where the message is coming. For example, the
%DIAG-SP-STDBY-6-RUN_MINIMUM system message is the %DIAG-6-RUN_MINIMUM message coming from
the switch processor (SP) that is in redundant or standby (STDBY) mode.
SUBFACILITY
is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 that reflects the severity of the condition. The lower the
number, the more serious the situation. Table 2 lists the severity levels.
SEVERITY
MNEMONIC
is a code that uniquely identifies the system message.
Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains
detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses
that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these
variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in
square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec]. Table 3 lists the
representations of variable fields and the type of information in them.
The following is a sample system message:
%LINK-2-BADVCALL: Interface [chars], undefined entry point
Some messages also indicate the card and slot reporting the error. These messages begin with a percent
sign (%) and are structured as follows:
%CARD-SEVERITY-MSG:SLOT %FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
CARD is a code that describes the type of card reporting the error. CIP, CIP2, ECPA, ECPA4, FEIP, PCPA,
and VIP are possible card types.
MSG
is a mnemonic that indicates that this is a message. It is always shown as MSG.
indicates the slot number of the card reporting the error. It is shown as SLOT followed by a number
(for example, SLOT5).
SLOT
Note
The prepended portion of the message (%CARD-SEVERITY-MSG:SLOT) is not shown in the system message
listings in this manual.

5 – notification

System message severity levels correspond to the keywords assigned by the logging console and logging
monitor global configuration commands that define where and at what level these messages appear. In
general, the default is to log messages from level 0 (emergencies) to level 7 (debugging). However, the
default level varies by platform. For more information, see the system configuration chapter and
descriptions of the logging console and logging monitor commands in the appropriate Cisco IOS
configuration guide and command reference publications.

Representation of Variable Fields in Messages
Representation
Type of Information
[atalk_address]
AppleTalk address
[atalk_net]
AppleTalk network, either 600 or 600-601
[char]
Single character
[chars]
Character string

[hex]
Hexadecimal number
[hex_addr]
Hexadecimal address
[inet]
Internet address (for example, 10.0.2.16)
[int]

[node]

[p]
IPv6 address
[sci_notation]
Scientific notation
[t-line]
Terminal line number in octal (or decimal if the decimal-TTY service is
enabled)
[v-name]
VINES name; or service number (hex or decimal)
System Message Example
The following is an example of a system error message:
%LINK-2-BADVCALL: Interface [chars], undefined entry point
•
LINK is the facility code.
•
2 is the severity level.
•
BADVCALL is the mnemonic code.
•
“Interface [chars], undefined entry point” is the message text.
Some messages also indicate where the system condition occurred. These messages are structured as
follows:
%FACILITY-SOURCE-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
SOURCE indicates the location of the condition. Examples of SOURCE are SP, which indicates that the
condition occurred in the switch processor, or DFC5, which indicates that the condition occurred in the
Distributed Forwarding Card on the module in slot 5.

Cisco IOS System Message Guide, 12.2 SX
Message Traceback Reports
Message Traceback Reports
Some messages describe internal errors and contain traceback information. This information is very
important and should be included when you report a problem to your technical support representative.
The following sample message includes traceback information:
-Process= ”Exec”, level= 0, pid= 17
-Traceback= 1A82 1AB4 6378 A072 1054 1860
Message Overrun and Continuation
When a system message contains lengthy descriptive information, the message text can sometimes
exceed the syslog buffer. In releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXF2, the overrun message
is truncated to the buffer size and any additional text is lost. When truncation occurs, the following
message is sent after the truncated message:
%Log packet overrun, PC [hex], format: [chars]
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXF2 and later releases, a long message can be split into multiple
messages, with truncation and continuation indicators at each section. The end of an incomplete syslog
message section will be tagged with the string "**MSG XXXXX TRUNCATED**", where XXXXX is
a count of overrun messages since the last system reload. The continuation of the message will begin
with "**MSG XXXXX CONTINUATION #YY", where YY represents the part number. A message can
be divided into a maximum of 99 parts.
This example shows a message split into three sections:
%TEST-5-ANY_ERRMSG: This messaage should be split into three

Using the Error Message Decoder to Search for System Messages
Using the Error Message Decoder to Search for System
Messages
The Error Message Decoder (EMD) is a tool that will help you to research and resolve error messages
for Cisco software. The EMD helps you to understand the meaning of the error messages that display on
the console of Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls.
To use the EMD, copy the message that appears on the console or in the system log, paste it into the
window, and press the Submit button. You will automatically receive an Explanation, Recommended
Action, and, if available, any related documentation for that message.
The EMD is located here:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Errordecoder/index.cgi?locale=en
Searching for System Messages in Online Documentation
To search for messages in online documentation, use the search function of your browser by copying and
pasting the message that appears on the console or in the system log.
Some messages that appear on the console or in the system log indicate where the system condition
occurred. These messages are structured as follows:
%FACILITY-SOURCE-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
SOURCE indicates the location of the condition. Examples of SOURCE are SP, which indicates that the
condition occurred in the switch processor, or DFC5, which indicates that the condition occurred in the
Distributed Forwarding Card on the module in slot 5.
If you search for the explanation and recommended action of a message that contains a SOURCE,
remove the SOURCE from the text first, and then search for the message in the documentation.
For example, instead of searching the documentation for the message C6KPWR-SP-4-DISABLED,
remove the SOURCE identifier and search for the message C6KPWR-4-DISABLED.
